And I've always wondered why on earth did Sony had the odd 7 bluetooths?!? It just doesn't make sense!!! 8 bluetooth would have been great, it would of been the king of sports on any current console! Basically not only will it benefit sports games but 4 players Move multiplayers games too!!

IMO, the biggest Sony mistakes of this gen!!


I believe it's part of the bluetooth standard that a maxium of seven bluetooth devices can be supported at any one time.

4 player motion gaming?  never done it on the Wii.... ever. 

I doubt I could in my gaming room (space).... and I doubt I'd want the brusies from elbows smashing into my ribs and face.

2 is enough for me, so Sony and MS are just fine.


The ps3 supports 4 move controllers

1. It is marketed as a three player game and the average consumer won't know the limitation?! The average consumer won't be sold by the internet at all, they will be sold because they played it at someone's house. The limitations will be apparent.

2. As a Wii owner this is nowhere near as bad a problem as the arbitrary limitation of one Balance Board. It has still been pretty successful.


Wii Fit has been quite successful, yes.  The balance board itself, however, is barely supported by any other applications.  A few games support it as a secondary, optional feature (Mario & Sonic, Punch Out), but no games outside of Wii Fit and Wii Fit Plus fully require the peripheral.

I know...  but it doesnt support 4 controllers and 4 navs...

*raises hand*

I've had friends over for Mario Kart fairly often.  It and Mario Party 8 are especially popular with my sister's kids.

Off the top of my head you can play 4 player in Wii Sports Tennis and in Mario Kart. Those are "motion games".

I'm pretty sure there are more..

You don't need the nav for games like sports championship and PS move orientated games, the nav is made for the core titles that require analog movement (which you can use a DS3 for) and besides I assume you can use 3 navs and 4 moves since the navs are the same as the DS3.

Also for those that said some move games require 2 moves, well you can play them with one move, the 2nd move just adds more immersion to the game.

Also, Wii Party is Nintendo's next big multiplayer game, and it will probably be the best selling motion-based title this year.

like i said... not many

I have all of those and have never had more than 2 playing at once.

Its another non-issue to try and have a dig at Kinect... thats all.

Most games shown seem to require at least two controllers, however.  Socom, Killzone, Sorcery, and every other hardcore game require both a controller and a subcontroller.  The Fight requires two main controllers.   

A few games like EyePet will require just a vanilla controller, but we haven't seen too many of those yet. 

Even for most party games, you'd still want support for both a controller and a subcontroller per player, since even games like Mario Party require a nunchuck for some minigames.
